Following the foot steps of my whakapapa isn't as easy as I had thought, but my eyes have been opened with the fact that I finally know more about the ancestors that walked before me.

I am proud to know my Nga Puhi geneology via my Grand Mother, Ngati Kahungunu via my Grand Father and Ngati Porou via my Father. Our history shows me that we are all related somewhere in geneology and time for which I am lucky to have found the parts that I leave for those that will follow me and I leave this for the greater whanau to continue with when they are ready.

Don't leave it to late whanau.
